Just watched an episode of "Dr. Oz" about


Posted: Jul 30, 2013

believe what I was watching. There was a female DO on the show and they had a woman who was receiving manipulation of her back, shoulders, arms, etc. and I am sitting here now in the flares of fibro myself thinking I would literally die if someone were to even come close enough to put 1 finger on me. I think a massage would be like sticking a sword through me, my smallest cat cannot even put its little paws on my upper legs because that feels like knives going in and surely this must be something that others can have done but the way I am feeling today best not to look too hard even. Today my ribs hurt, upper legs hurt, back hurts. Such pain and seeing that part drew my attention at first because thought there might be some new things on the horizon but OMG, manipulations? Now I am really hurting just thinking about that. ;

Just like people going to the chiropractor - I have a herniated cervical disc

and even 8 years later I cannot imagine a chiropractor "adjusting" my neck. I never had surgery for it, not quite that bad, but bad enough I don't want anybody yanking on it. So I totally feel you on that sister!

My doctor thinks I have fibromyalgia - anonymouse

I have flares of this aching and sometimes it is hard to explain but it can be all over. If you touch the side of my knees it is sore like it is bruised but no bruise. A lot of times it is ribs, sternum, back, etc. I can feel it when I move, when I shrug my shoulders the chest area is sore. It flares and comes and goes. Driving for long periods makes it flare up in my torso area. Sometimes it flares up for no reason though.

It sure sounds like fibro. My family and friends - know not to hug hard, soft pats

because if having a flare I cannot be touched at all and I mean that. So funny but lot of times people want to be "touchy feely" like personable waitress who wants to "give you a big pat" on your shoulder - ouch, don't do that. I move out of reach of others sometime, really watch my steps, I go a lot and enjoy life but dang the pain is almost unbearable. You don't have to explain the pain because I know what it is like, only my nose probably only part not hurting right now. A relative asked me how did I go so much. Well pain is there, whether you sit at home working or out somewhere. I take 1/2 Tramadol tablet for the really severe pain but that is taken very seldom. I rub myself on rib area on both sides with something like Ben-Gay, sometimes use ibuprofen for less harsh pain but still pain. I mostly just live with the flares, nothing really seems to help and I think having a massage would be like sticking a pencil in my eye, same thing, horrific pain.

This may sound simple - but I have been assured

that it works from those that have it. Take alpha-lipoic acid. 300 mg twice daily. Give it three weeks. You will feel much better! :-)

I Just Caught The First Episode Of Extreme Couponing, May 19, 2011
at least I think it's the first episode, on On Demand, since the show is on too late at night for me. Anyway, I think there's something wrong with those women.  OCD maybe? They're so proud of having 40 boxes of cereal and 90 rolls of toilet paper. What they don't say is how much of that cereal and TP they go through before they buy more....and that one woman who took her husband with her and wound up with 4 carts of groceries....I didn't see a single piece of m ...

Wow! About Lybia Attack Episode Tonight! Do Not Feel Safe Oct 19, 2012
I had know idea there was more than 1 building in attack of Ambassador or our Americans were trying to flee by car to another safe haven.  How dare Obama and Hiliary made this out to be it was from a video.  Obama and Hillary need to seriously appolgize to the person who made the movie as he was being used as a puppet for Obama.  Geesh.  It is like smoking a cigarette in front of someone and yet that person who sees you smoking is totally denying you are smoking a ...

I Watched Dr. Oz A Few Days Ago, Something That I Never Get To Do ...Aug 18, 2010
And the subject turned toward having those late afternoon "crashes" and what you can do about it.  It seems like every day between 3-4 I just feel like I cannot go on without a cat nap and instead I find myself getting up and walking around a lot, getting more coffee, diet coke, etc., anything to stay awake.  He stated that pineapple, because of the level of the acidity in it, is an energy food, to try eating it when you reach these "crash" points.  So I decided to try it. For th ...

I Just Watched An Incredibly Well-done Documentary Oct 15, 2011
called "The One Percent" by Jamie Johnson (an heir to the Johnson and Johnson fortune).  Go to YouTube and type in "The One Percent".  It's in 8 parts, each part is 9 minutes and 51 seconds long.  It's a brilliant documentary, and really does make one pause and think.  I found it so interesting, I'm going to now go back and watch all 8 segments again.  This should be aired on TV, but I'm sure it won't be, except maybe PBS will air it. =^^= ...

So I Watched The Amazing DNC Last NightJul 28, 2016
What a speech! Also Joe Biden, also Tim Kaine (America's new step-dad). I am so glad we had the 8 years of his amazing term. Here's hoping he does even more amazing things in a hopefully long life to come. Once he's out of the White House he may be the worst threat to the right wing yet, since he won't be compelled to play nice with the idiot congressmen who have been destroying our country for 8 years. Personally, I think he is a beautiful man, I think he is a truly inspir ...

So I Painfully Watched The DNC Last NightJul 28, 2016
So many lies and half truths coming out of the mouths of grown men and women. Saw the fact checking on the news this morning. They should be ashamed. But there is no shame with democrats. It's their culture now - lie and lie some more. Eventually some people will start to believe it. And for Obama, well, he has some of the most evil looking expressions I have ever seen before. Frankly, looked almost to be possessed by Satan himself and then he would smile that slimy reptilian smile of his. ...

I Watched This 60 Minutes InterviewMay 14, 2017
He sincerely sounded like a man of integrity and a man who believes in the constitution; one of the good guys.  This was from 2014 and Trump's name wasn't even in the picture yet.  What a shame that a man's career was destroyed by this dispicable president.  ...

Has Anyone Watched Coverage Of Crowds Outside The Courtroom? Jul 05, 2011
My family called me not understanding how a mother not report a child missing for 31 days and no criminal charges were made.  I keep hearing from commentators saying the justice system worked.  I want to know how the justice system worked, freeing an obviously guilty person to continue her life as if her daughter was not murdered.  Just heard on the news the Anthony family is being threatened.  Can you imagine what happens to Casey once she is free as far as threats on ...

Just Watched A Good Program This Morning. Did Anyone Else See It?Apr 03, 2011
It was probably on last night and repeated this morning.  It was called "Freeloading" by John Stossel on the network some on this board hate to have mentioned. I wish they would repeat this program as it was very interesting.  I did miss the first 10 minutes of it but what I did see was eye-opening, even though I knew about some of the government programs he talked about, but didn't know the background of the people who receive them.  I would recommend everyone watch it if i ...

Just Watched Video Of Donald TrumpAug 10, 2016
All I got out of it is that Trump wants 2nd amendment supporters to ensure Hillary is not voted into office so she cannot appoint supreme court judges who will take away gun rights. No where did I hear a suggestion that the second amendment supporters should assassinate Hillary.  He wants them to band together and elect him so Clinton could not appoint supreme court judges to take away their gun rights.  I listened to the spin put on what he said on the news last night and this morni ...

I Just Watched The Worst Movie In My Entire LifeJan 06, 2010
I am so mad that I actually bought this movie because I heard so many people say how scary it it.  It was not scary at all...not one iota.  The movie is called "Paranormal Activity".  After watching it I got online and see it has won the Rotten Tomato award as did the actress and actor in it (if you could call them that).  It was slow, boring, and the acting was horrible.  Not the reactions one would expect if you have a demon in the house.  Her screaming was so hid ...

New To Board. Voted For Obama And Just Watched 2016.Dec 02, 2012
My husband and I were trying to decide what movie to watch last night and we decided since after Obama being reelected, we would watch 2016 for the fun of it.  Curious to see what this anti-Obama movie was all about.  It was a documentary narrated by a guy from India.  The movie had to do with Obama's book and why Obama's book was not titled Dreams of my Father, but Dreams From my Father.  Obama's father against anti-colony What was interesting was what this w ...

Just Watched Comrade Obama Give A Speech/criticismAug 16, 2012
For the simple fact so many posters on this board claim Romney has no budget.  Maybe it was another Obama "composite".  Maybe Debbie Wasserman Schultz is dropping the ball on getting out the info to the devoted few (she did an interview on 08/12 slamming Romney budget).  What do they know that the devotees on this board do not?  Are these 2, Obama and DWS, lying again/still, or is it posters so consumed with getting out misleading info they are not following their l ...
